It benches similar to the i5 but the top end intel chips destroy it but at up to 3 times the price. AMD’s Piledriver 10 core processor will be out in the first quarter 2012 but until Windows 8 arrives the hyperthreading between cores really can’t be fully appreciated. Overall AMD has dropped the ball. The 8150 can bareley compete with the i5 when its (the 8150) overclocked :rofl Factor in even the smallest overclock in the i5 and nothing AMD throws out will even touch it. Spend 30 bucks more and you have a 2600k, overclock it and its untouchable There are certain areas where an AMD chip excels, but its usually not in anything consumer oriented. Don’t mind me, im just a disgruntled 1100T owner who needs to run at 4.2ghz 24/7 to get what I want out of it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-ilya-pc-vs-mac-debate-contest-benchmarks/262129)._
